I would have given it 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for ...


The ending. The ending seemed ridiculous. It's a great storyline and great characters. I was disappointed in the ending. Firstly when Abu Tsarek rapes her there was no indication that she had already spent 15 years in jail. The rapist did also not look like a 20 year old. He looked like someone in his 30s.

Harsh times and a harsh environment (such as a war-torn country) make you age sooner.

They had to use an actor who, with the help of makeup, could pass for a 20 year old in the prison scenes and for a 40+ year old in the swimming pool/letter delivery scenes. An actor who would be in his 30s seems like a logical choice then.

Personally I think he can pass for young man in his 20s: http://p0.storage.canalblog.com/02/62/856625/90522415_o.jpg

There was an obvious indication actually, it was mentioned that she had spent 15 years before she was released when she gave birth, so..

Well it is a 10 out of 10 in my books !
I found no flaws in the film , and I think it has one of the best endings of any film in some time. I have watched it now 6 or 7 times, I like it that much.
